Age of Conquest Reborn

In Tang Qiuli's heart, he is more inclined to put the more than 400,000 Kwantung Army troops in Western Manchuria into the mountainous areas leading to Liaoxi before fighting. The benefits of doing so are obvious. Compared with the current

Besieging on all sides will save a lot of troops and reduce the casualties of the troops.

With more than 100,000 troops from the six brigades in the southern part of the Liaoxi battlefield encirclement, retreating and setting up blocking lines in the Qilaotu Mountains and Nuruerhu Mountains, rugged mountain roads and more than a dozen rivers will greatly

The march speed of the Kwantung Army in Western Manchuria was slowed down. Ge Zhenzhuang's analysis was correct. In order to avoid being bitten, the Kwantung Army troops who broke out would inevitably discard all their heavy equipment and march lightly, so that they could go faster!

After the Kwantung Army that released Western Manchuria entered the mountainous area, the troops were divided into the north, west, and east directions. Then, the air force adopted an all-weather bombing method. In this way, the Qilaotu Mountainous Area and the Nuruerhu Mountainous Area were

An excellent place to destroy enemies.

So it was decided. Just as Tang Qiuli was about to issue an order to Ge Zhenzhuang, Chen Feng, director of the Division Communications Department, walked into the headquarters and said, "Division Commander, I received a message from Commander Feng Jiwu and Deputy Commander Han Tie from the Western Liaoning Theater Command.

According to the joint telegram, the Kwantung Army in the western Liaoning direction has behaved abnormally. Its Seventh Army has bypassed the frontal battlefield, turned to the northwest junction of our western Liaoning battlefield encirclement, and moved towards the Nuruer Hushan Mountains!"

"Currently, the intentions of the Kwantung Army troops are unclear. Commanders Feng and Han asked for instructions whether to launch a local attack based on the troops in the western and northern parts of the encirclement to push back the Seventh Kwantung Army Army?"

"Hahaha!" Tang Qiuli laughed, "The Kwantung Army troops in the two encirclements all behaved abnormally, and their targets were concentrated in the Qilaotu Mountains and Nuruerhu Mountains. The intention is obvious. The troops in the direction of Western Manchuria

The Kwantung Army troops want to break out in the direction of Liaoxi

, the Seventh Army of the Kwantung Army from the west of Liaoning went north to try to meet up. It just so happened that Director Ge and Director Chen were both there. The two Kwantung Army troops totaled more than 1.3 million people. Their final destination was at

Where? You can speak freely and express your opinions!"

Ge Zhenzhuang did his duty, this was his job. He walked to the map and said: "Commander, according to the battlefield situation, no matter whether the two parts of the Kwantung Army can be reunited, the land route cannot be taken away, so there is only one possibility.

, take the sea route, Jinzhou and Huludao on the coastline of Liaodong Bay, you must choose one of them!"

"Also, since the Western Manchuria Kwantung Army's breakout direction is Liaoxi, then assuming that the breakout is successful, there must be a large number of transport ships at sea to support it. From this point of view, Huludao must be captured.

Target, compared to Jinzhou Port, Huludao’s port location is better! Director Chen, what do you think?”

Ge Zhenzhuang said, asking about Chen Feng. Chen Feng has never been very involved in battlefield issues, and he also knows that he is half an amateur. "Director Ge, you are just trying to catch up, but I do agree with you a little bit."

.In terms of the geographical location of Huludao port

Generally speaking, it is indeed much better than Jinzhou Port. Division Commander, Director Ge, you see, Jinzhou Port is more than ten kilometers deep into the land of the Western Liaoning Corridor. If we set up artillery on both sides, I am afraid that the Japanese transport ships entering the port will be trapped in the urn.

Be afraid!”

"The Huludao port is different. Small-tonnage transport ships can dock in the shallows, and Kwantung Army soldiers can board the ship by wading through the water. Don't forget, there are hundreds of thousands of pursuing troops behind us! Division Commander, I will

Such an opinion makes you laugh!" Chen Feng said with a smile.

Before Tang Qiuli could speak, Ge Zhenzhuang stretched out his thumb and praised, "Director Chen, you also said that you don't know how to fight. These few words were enough to drive the Kwantung Army in western Liaoning to death.

!”

Tang Qiuli smiled and joked: "Well! You two, it's better not to flatter each other. The Kwantung Army in western Liaoning has a big appetite. It wants to seize a port. From the current battlefield position, it wants to seize Huludao.

We must break through our Jinzhou defense line, and Feng Jiwu's troops, with hundreds of thousands of troops waiting in tight formation, will not be able to satisfy their wishes, so this adventure of the Kwantung Army is doomed to be fruitless!"

"Hey, Director Ge, you just said that if the Kwantung Army troops take the sea route, there must be enough transport ships to handle it! Even if it is just to pick up the more than 500,000 Kwantung Army soldiers in the western Liaoning area, it will probably take several thousand ships.

Transport ship?" Tang Qiuli suddenly asked with great interest.

Ge Zhenzhuang's brain reacted so quickly. He immediately understood what the commander meant, "Commander, are you planning on transporting merchant ships like the Japanese?"

"Wouldn't it be a pity not to take away the fat that is brought to your mouth!" Tang Qiuli nodded, "So many merchant ships need to set off from the Japanese mainland, bypass the Korean Peninsula, pass through the Yellow Sea, enter the Bohai Sea, and then

More than ten days are not enough to get to Huludao in Liaodong Bay. In addition, the Japanese will definitely have a fleet to escort them, and they will also have a large number of fighter jets to escort them in the air. Otherwise, they will be a bunch of living targets!"

"Thanks to the Japanese, they were able to come up with such a risky method. They are so incompetent!" Tang Qiuli sighed, shaking his head.

Ge Zhenzhuang said incredulously: "Commander, it is difficult to understand that the Japanese would make such a decision. No matter how big the Japanese escort fleet and fleet are, as long as they enter the Bohai Sea, they will inevitably end up in our Liaodong Peninsula and Shandong Peninsula.

, the fierce attacks by land-based aviation forces in the areas surrounding the Bohai Sea are really in a hurry to die!"

"Also, our fleet on the west coast of the Korean Peninsula will not sit back and watch its transport fleet enter the Bohai Sea smoothly. In a word, the Japanese are crazy. They are going deep into the hinterland of our army and taking away hundreds of thousands of Kanto

Soldier, how can we succeed?"

Tang Qiuli understood why the Japanese base camp took such a dangerous move, because the thinking of the Japanese cannot be understood by normal people's thinking. This nation is born with the trait of gamblers, and what kind of risks they take.

The behavior is not surprising.

Now, Tang Qiuli has shaken his previous idea. In the Qilaotu Mountains and Nuruerhu Mountains, he arranged a big pocket strategy for the more than 400,000 Kwantung Army in Western Manchuria who are trying to break through. If Western Manchuria is defeated,

The Kwantung Army troops in the area were placed in western Liaoning, and the Huludao port was given away. Then, several main attack corps gathered together and pressed more than one million Kwantung Army troops on the seaside. What would be the result?

Tang Qiuli couldn't help but be startled by his bold idea. It seemed that thousands of Japanese merchant ships had made him a little lost. If he really did this, there might be uncertain variables in the entire Northeast battlefield.

When the two Kwantung Army troops come together, it is not just as simple as one plus one equals two. Fundamental changes will occur to the Kwantung Army soldiers, from military morale to morale.

The soldiers of the Kwantung Army who were surrounded believed that they had the ability to break through the encirclement of the independent division troops. In addition, there was still hope of survival. Their inner fighting will and desire to survive would be greatly stimulated, thus giving rise to the final encirclement and annihilation campaign.

, increase the difficulty, and the casualties of the troops will also increase a lot. Fighting the tired soldiers and fighting the trapped soldiers are two concepts of battle!

Tang Qiuli shook his head warily, "I am a little greedy! An overly smooth battlefield situation can easily make people lose the right direction! The battle to regain the Northeast should be fought according to the established plan. However, the plan to annihilate the enemy in the Western Manchurian Mountains

, it’s doable!” He thought to himself for his own sake.

"Thousands of Japanese merchant ships are indeed a piece of fat and oily meat. However, with or without him, we can all celebrate the New Year! Being able to eat them is a bonus. If you can't eat them, you won't regret it!" Tang Qiuli restrained.

He stopped his thoughts, shook his head and said,

"Director Ge and Director Chen are both here, recording the following orders. Sun Zhenbang, Yuan Jinghao, and the six brigades in the southern part of the western Manchu battlefield encirclement circle, make way for a gap, and immediately retreat to the Qilaotu Mountain area and Nuruerhu Mountain.

area, establish a blocking line!”

"The troops in the remaining three directions will immediately follow and compress the Kwantung Army troops in the encirclement after they begin to break through. They will annihilate their battlefields and be located in the mountainous area of ​​Western Manchuria. The time for the total attack will remain unchanged!"

"Commander Feng Jiwu of the Western Liaoning Battlefield Command and Deputy Commander Han Tie must push back the Seventh Army of the Kwantung Army that is trying to respond to the enemy's breakout in the Western Manchuria area. In addition, they must prevent the Kwantung Army in the Western Liaoning area from turning back to attack Jinzhou. Division

Refers to judgment, which attempts to seize

You should be prepared for the move to seize the Huludao port. Strictly limit the enemy-annihilation battlefield in western Liaoning to the existing area. You can press the Kwantung Army troops besieged in western Liaoning to the seaside, but it must be an area without a port, which is conducive to

Our army concentrates its forces on the attack!"

Ge Zhenzhuang said with some reluctance: "Commander, after the general attack is launched, there will be a thunderous momentum. According to the estimates of the staff office, the battle on the two battlefields will definitely be over within ten days. At that time, the Kwantung Army's retreat will be coordinated

Will the Japanese fleet continue to penetrate deep into the waters of Liaodong Bay after learning that its target has been wiped out? Aren't we scaring away a big piece of oily fat?"

Tang Qiuli said with a smile: "It's a joy to gain but not to worry about a loss! However, as long as the Japanese transport fleet and escort fleet cross the Korean Strait and enter the Yellow Sea, it may not be that easy to shrink back.

Got it!"

"Send a telegram to Commander Tang of the Naval Fleet and order. Judging from various circumstances, the Japanese have assembled a troop transport fleet of approximately several thousand merchant ships and an unknown number of escort fleets on the mainland, trying to rush to Liaodong.

Gulf waters, to assist the surrounded Kwantung Army troops to break out and withdraw from the sea to the Japanese mainland. The mission of your fleet is to do everything possible to capture this troop carrier formation!"

After recording the order, Chen Feng frowned and reminded: "Commander, the order given to Navy Commander Tang is too general!"

Tang Qiuli shook his head and said: "We are all amateurs in commanding naval battles. All we need to do is tell Commander Tang the desired result. He knows exactly how to fight!"
